Two tough breaks for Siran. The ball goes wonky and hits his leg on a punt return a few weeks ago, now he draws a flag for interference on a great punt coverage hit. Neither was his fault.
On this play, Luke McCaffrey threw a fast fair catch signal almost the moment the punt was coming off Waitman’s foot, so there’s no way Siran Neal could have seen it. McCaffrey induced an interference call.
Accident or intentional? I think Luke knew exactly what he was doing. Those McCaffreys are devious.

- Oct 20 David Lombardi (X) It was a good play from both Luke McCaffrey and Siran Neal — and a sign that the NFL should amend its fair catch. Can’t blame Luke for capitalizing on the system and Siran for not seeing the signal while he was releasing off the line and working against a blocker · Quoting Dontay Atkinson: Two tough breaks for Siran.
